Morales vs cano is gonna be a war !!!

Victor Manuel Cayo would be a tough fight for Morales...as would Peterson.

I honestly haven't been too impressed with Pablo Cesar Cano. Powerful but pretty damn slow, with poor punching technique. I felt that journeyman Oscar Leon beat him comfortably by a few points but fell victim to home cooking.

He shouldn't be undefeated.

Morales should outclass him fairly easily. It really isn't a better opponent than Crolla.

 

I hope not because that would only make the WBC even more of a joke. :tired

 

This. ... Cayo would of been better!

 

I hope so, Freddy. I'd hate to see this nice renaissance from Morales go to waste on blowing out no-hopers. Given past looks at Cano, and the galactic gulf in experience between the green kid and the resurgent legend - it's hard for me to see this going any other way.

 

not impressed with cano at all. this is a tomato can fan in alot of respects in regards to the mathysse fight. ah well what u gonna do. just more time to get drunk for the main event lol

 

Too much, too soon for Cano. Erik is too much of a step up in this point in his career and he will really have to rise to the occasion and fight the fight of his life to have a chance. Same can be said about the main event, to a stronger degree.

 

:yep

One of two things will happen:

Morales will go into beast mode and tear this kid to shreds.

OR

Morales will revert back to the Dark Days between the Pacquiao rubbermatch and Maidana, when he was looking like ass and fighting down to (or below) the level of his opposition.

I guess there's a third option, where Cano really steps up to the plate and makes it the competitive war Freddy is trying to sell us on without any regression on El Terible's part..it's just a distant and unlikely third IMO.

Vargas-Lopez is an almost guaranteed war, though. So yeah - even if Morales-Cano becomes nothing more than a drinking game (jab landed, CHUG!) the card should still be a good night out for those of us seeing it in theaters.

 

:deal

It's actually a toss-up to me, who's more in over their head between Ortiz and Cano. :think

 

You were right. :yep

I think it was as much that Morales got off to a shitty start, but half of it was definitely Cano stepping up to the plate and not being intimidated by the moment. He put on the fight of his life and while it wasn't enough against the legend (once the legend got into gear), it was an impressive display of boxing.

 

@ 140? I don't know, man. I think he's just below that level.

As Lampley pointed out, the winner of that bogus "WBC title bout" is far from the top of the division.

While he made me eat my words about getting steamrolled against Morales and not being competitive, I still can't see Cano hanging with the likes of Bradley, Khan, Maidana, Soto, Peterson, etc. - even Holt, Alexander, Alvarado...

He'd give someone like Jessie Vargas a good test, though. :good

 

I can't see Cano doing anything against real prospects and beltholders.
